In 10 days, we will be packing up for our journey back to Canada. We get the U-Haul truck July 30 and load up everything from our MA storage and apartment and head to Kingston. We're looking for something fun to do along the way so that when we land back in Kingston August 1, we'll have had a teeny vacation. Teeny.
Boys are excited, looking forward to seeing their friends again. Kid#1 recently quipped, "You know, when we get back, all of my friends will look the same to me because we will have all grown taller together, but all of the adults will tell me how much I've grown." Too true, too true.
Kids are at a new camp this week that involves a one-hour bus ride to get there and another one-hour bus ride to come back - their first experience with regular bussing. Kid#1, my anti-social brooder, sits by himself in the very last seat of the bus. Kid#2, my highly social would-talk-to-a-tree kid, sits up in the very front seat with the bus supervisor and a bunch of other kids. Neither of them wave goodbye out the window. Somehow, this all makes sense to me.
Also gives me much longer days for work since I am now working 8-4:30 (bus pick up is 7:45am - EEK!) instead of 9:20-3:00 which is what I was doing since I provided the transportation for the last camp. This has also been an interesting shift - a little more spare time during the day without the kids. I do email and work, of course, but also have been reading the odd magazines that come into the apartment.
We are renting from two guys who told us that they get some unusual magazines and they don't know why. I think they just told us that so we wouldn't think they were too weird. So we get Vanity Fair and Redbook, as well as Time. Variety being the spice of life and all that.
Laundry is going - invoices are awaiting. Have a great one.
